Unfortunately, no. While we can schedule when your chicks are shipped, USPS does not guarantee a specific delivery day or time. If you have a vacation or scheduling conflict, please let us know before placing your order, and we'll do our best to choose a shipping date that works for you.

Many post offices will call you when your chicks arrive for pickup, but procedures vary by location. We recommend monitoring your tracking information closely and contacting your local post office if you have questions about how they handle live bird shipments.
